Google Business Profile is the foundation
A complete and regularly updated profile helps users find your address, opening hours, phone number, photos and reviews. The business category must accurately match the service you actually provide.
- Correct company name
- Primary and additional categories
- Opening hours
- Photos and description
- Link to the relevant page
NAP consistency
Your name, address and phone number should be identical on the website, Google profile, social networks and relevant directories. Differences create doubt for both users and algorithms.
Reviews build trust
Ask for a review after a successfully completed service and respond professionally. Do not buy fake reviews. Genuine customer experience is more valuable in the long term.
The website must include local signals
The page should clearly state the service and area served, show real projects and answer local questions. Mass-copying the same text for dozens of cities is not a quality strategy.
Track calls, enquiries and direction requests
Local SEO should be measured by business actions: calls, direction clicks, messages and bookings, not only by profile views.
